Dry eyes?

Post date: 2026-03-19 06:18:09

My eye doctor did a tear test and says that I have dry eyes. I have no symptoms.

My eyes feel fine! I get eye fatigue sometimes when I've been staring at the computer all day and then doomscrolling all night, but I don't have gritty eyes, blurred vision, etc. I would never have said that I had any kind of eye problem of this nature.

The eye doctor has suggested that I pay out of pocket multi-hundred dollars a month for prescription eye drops. This is a new doctor. Do I really need to do this?

Have you been diagnosed with dry eyes with no symptoms and then followed through on treatment? I just feel like I'm being over-treated here, and last year I had SO many medical tests that proved to be overtreatment/not NIH standard/etc, so I'm getting a bit wary.
